Wiu weet~
Woke up at 5.30am today!!! Felt like I've won something. Perhaps cos I woke up earlier than the Sun? Haha.
Think it'll be a great day!

Let's talk about materialism.
(n) a desire for wealth and material possessions with little interest in ethical or spiritual matters
From what I've observed (not factual), most materialistic people don't know that they are one. Probably cos they seem to need everything?
We live in a world of instant gratification. "I WANT IT AND I WANT IT NOW!!!" We don't like to wait too long for something.
For eg, when we pray for something and it doesn't happen like, the next day, do we forget about it or do we press on?
Playing music teaches me that there is NO shortcuts to achieve something great. We have to start from the very basic and take baby steps up.
Now you may think I'm digressing a lot. What has this gotta do with being materialistic?
It sure is ok to buy stuff and pamper yourself... (^;^)v However we gotta take a step back and ask "Am I actually trying to fill an empty void in my life?" To gain that temporary satisfaction by wanting to buy so many things.
while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:18
Gonna leave you with that... (Too much for an early morning lol)
